LEON BRIDGES ‘Good Thing’ CD

Description

The second, more adventurous album from the Texas soul singer bends toward the present while keeping the warmth of classic R&B in his melodies and songwriting. Since 2015’s hit album ‘Coming Home’, Bridges has grown up a little – it’s clear that what he’s singing about here is real love, both the physical and the emotional of it, where before he was caught up in the idea of courtship. Additionally Bridges has loosened his temporal fixation, making room for a more elastic, eclectic approach to songwriting that feels perfectly contemporary. A uniquely modern vision of classic soul.
